1310. Remember Who You Are: Why Healing Isn't About Becoming Someone New

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria is getting a lil’ personal and  sharing one of the biggest realizations she's had yet on her healing journey (and it's something so many of us can probably relate to!). After years of therapy, books, podcasts, retreats, and interviewing some of the world's leading health and wellness experts, Maria realized that the hardest part to her healing isn't doing the work...it's remembering everything you've learned when life knocks you down again. Today she shares how that realization inspired her to create what she now calls “Your Guide Back to You.” A place to keep all the lessons and breakthroughs  she never wants to forget. Maria explains how she’s come to realize that healing isn't about constantly reinventing yourself. That sometimes it's about slowing down long enough to reconnect with the person you were before life, fear, and everyone else's expectations got in the way. It's about noticing the patterns you keep repeating, understanding your triggers, and finding your way back to yourself. Maria also gives us a first look at the philosophy behind her upcoming Your Guide Back to You retreat at Canyon Ranch (link below to join!). All in all, we hope this conversation inspires you to spend a little time reconnecting with yourself this week and remembering your own wisdom whenever life throws you off course. Enjoy!
